Summary

An Axios-Ipsos poll shows that while two-thirds of Americans, including 93% of Republicans, support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, support declines when specific methods are proposed.

Only 38% favor using active-duty military, 28% back diverting military funds, and just one-third support separating families or deporting those who arrived as children.

Trump’s plans for mass deportations face logistical, economic, and public opinion challenges.

Experts note abstract support for deportations fades when Americans confront the complexities of implementation.

    Willful ignorance is a universal “value”. America is just ahead of the curve, at the moment. Counting out other countries is just prejudice.

        Please note that Europe isn’t as prejudiced with Muslims as it could be.

        Old Nazi concentration camps are not online.

        I take that as a win.

          Which is exactly why Europe is becoming right wing again. The bar CANNOT BE genocide and death camps. That leaves a fuckton of other horrible shit that “don’t seem that bad” in comparison
